Hangin' with tha progeny

Well, Annie and i got in for a sesh. She did really well for not having clumb in so long. i felt fairly decrepit for most of it. So much so, in fact, that at first i thought something must be wrong with me--must be sick or something. Odd, 'cuz i onsighted a couple of new v3s. But then i got on a hard 4 i'd done before, and couldn't do the first several moves that i usually race through to get to the hard bit. But then i started climbing with some other people and i revved up. That usually helps. i did end up re-sending that 4, and i worked all the moves out on another one that's had me stumped for a few days. But i felt especially fat and sluggish. i love climbing with Annie, and i think she could be really good one day, but she definitely ain't a workout partner yet. At one point, i was literally splayed out spread-eagle between a nearly unusable sloper in my right hand, and a toe-hook with my left foot on an overhanging v6, and she walks right up behind me and starts prattling about going downstairs. i fell on the next move and she was already walking off, and i just had to laugh and massage my forehead. Good times. Ended up being a pretty ok session (i tore my li'l nubbins down for a hard workout), and i'm perfectly willing to attribute the sluggishness to the nearly-global soreness from the irongym. But i gotta break the ice and get back out running again. i'm getting obese.
